I woke up and blinked, suddenly aware of hundreds of eyes staring intently at me. It felt like they were seeing a super rare animal, the weight of their gazes almost tangible. I felt overwhelmed.
"Wooaaaah!" I screamed out.
"Whooooaaahhhh!" they echoed back in a perfect unison.
"Who are all of you?" I blurted out, confusion clouding my thoughts. Am I still in a dream?
"Master! Your disciples show their respect to you." Their voices rose together, and as if moved by a single force, hundreds of them bowed and knelt before me. The sight was both overwhelming and surreal.
"Me?" I said, pointing to myself in disbelief.
"Master!"
"You all?" I questioned, pointing at them.
"Your disciples!" they responded.
"When did I ever accept you as my disciples?"
"Every one of us has paid 5 spiritual stones to first senior disciple Fatty Chen and kowtowed to you three times, all while you slept," one shouted.
